http://www.mixx.com/users/tamar Mixx of activity by tamar en-us @kmunse, yeah. Privacy is about the only thing I'm really looking for in living alone, but I can't say I want to go back to living alone. I did it for a year after college and it was a pretty depressing experience for me.

Thank you for taking our advice. As a really gentle recommendation, though, I would just suggest that you build up your English writing skills. I want to understand what you're saying, but for the most part, I don't. :( Thu Jul 17 01:34:54 UTC 2008 http://www.mixx.com/stories/997999/personalize_your_mixx_with_mixx_communities_babel_talk comment_109161 Screenshotted via Pearl Crescent Page Saver (Firefox Addon).

[snip] "You may also would like to join the editorial team, and have the ability to link to articles and post from all over the internet, if you do, feel free contact us, and we will create an account for you." Right. Essentially the "About" page is saying that no content from babeltalk.net should be allowed on Mixx (unless it provides value). Currently, it does not. It's like submitting a Digg page to Mixx. You don't do that. It's not proper etiquette. Yet that is exactly what you are doing because you're submitting a submission of a submission (of yet another submission), and this is what you say you do on your "About" page. It's fine if you do that on your site. It's CRAP if you submit that to a social site like Mixx. I hope you do turn a new leaf and take this criticism to heart.

Why not submit the ORIGINAL article DIRECTLY to Mixx? What value does your post have for the readers when they have to click on your one-sentence submission to the original source? Nowsourcing called it bloghopping. Most other people call it blogspam. Your submission was nothing but blogspam. That's poor taste.

Did you really *like* that piece of crap? With that logic, you can say "I am currently in the bathroom making a huge dump" and it will probably hit the front page with the way you got people to vote up this article to begin with. Please. Try it . Wed Jul 16 15:59:05 UTC 2008 http://www.mixx.com/stories/997999/personalize_your_mixx_with_mixx_communities_babel_talk comment_108952
